My favorite piece of art is an abstract painting by my brother-in-law. After he and my sister visited me in San Francisco, he took to canvas to paint his impression of the city by the bay. The painting uses bright colors which fit my personality and is titled “San Francisco on a Bright Sunny Day” featuring my favorite landmark – the Golden Gate Bridge!

I worked for a photography gallery and when we closed, the artist gifted me with many of the prints (so lucky and so very thankful). My fav is an 18×20 print of a lone tree blowing in the wind, in middle of a snow storm…beautiful and peaceful.

Megan says
Paint me a picture!
My grandmother did a lot of watercolor painting when I was young, and one of those got passed down to me. It’s of a woman and her two small children walking through a field. It’s not my artistic style, but of course it makes me happy for its sentimental value.

My favourite piece of art is a photo my cousin took while studying photography. It’s a photo of my partner and I infront of a sunset over the skyline of Toronto. For him it was just another assignment, but for me, it’s a wonderful memory of when we were living in Toronto.

My favorite piece of original art is actually a photo by bff took of “motif #1” near where we live in New England. She knows I love the way a creamy gray sky looks against the building, so she went several different times to get the right look.

My favorite right now is an abstract I found at, of all places, Marshalls. It’s gorgeous and kind of looks like the ocean.

Lacey says
Paint me a picture!
When I was a kid I found an old sketchbook full of my father’s drawings and woodcut prints. I “stole” a woodcut prints of a damselfly that he had done (number 4 of 5) and framed it when I bought a house. It’s my most treasured piece of art, especially because it’s really very good and my father never once mentioned that he was an artist!
